Apple iPhone Developer Announcement WWDC 07

Steve Jobs, yesterday in WwDC 2007 keynote talked about iPhone, they are launching it on 29th June at 6PM, also they talked about third party application on iPhone.. now before I go ahead...

they also announced Safari browser on Windows.. good news, now back to iPhone, iPhone will support third party applications, now good news in this is that you dont need to download any new SDK, learn something new... but you can use your existing knowledge of AJAX and xHTML and CSS meaning Web 2.0 and your application will run on Apple iPhone, to run your application it needs Safari browser which is already present on iPhone, now the question that I have got is, this means that you will need internet connection whenever you want to use third party application, and internet connection on cell phone using GPRS is expensive or does it allows you to download web 2.0 application? that is not clear, ok now thats that.. now one more disappointment is that, its web 2.0 meaning application will not be able to access platform features, meaning this applications will not be able to access iPhone :( but lets wait till launch and see whats in the store... so far it doesnt look good and also not enough information in hand.. so will wait till final launch.

but iPhone looks great.
